Version Accessibility 1.4.1

Usage

To use the Accessibility module, you can import it into your project from the Firebolt SDK:

import { Accessibility } from '@firebolt-js/sdk'

Apps SHOULD attempt o respect these settings, rather than manage and persist seprate settings, which would be different per-app.
